Your colleague Roger Marshall sent an email to his constituents ( I am one) saying that “Democrats should dangle at the end of a rope”. It’s not just Trump.

It’s not just the president. Last week I got an email from my senator, Roger Marshall, calling for “Democrats to dangle at the end of a rope “.

He’s getting his colonoscopy and we’re paying for it. Why does he think taxpayers should pay for him but not for us?

Is he giving up his taxpayer-funded healthcare since he doesn’t think it works? Why do we have to pay for him if he won’t pay for us?

Bessent kept interrupting Rep. Stacey Plaskett while she was telling him that interrupting representative’s questions during testimony was unacceptable. Smug, arrogant jerk.

She’s not “mixed up” with Epstein. She got texts from someone in her district who knew the person she was about to question. You folks are desperate to “ both sides” this.

This is the lady that led the lying charge against Anthony Fauci so that he had to hire private security for himself, his wife, and his three daughters. What goes around comes around.

Most people think that things were better when they were kids, because their parents did all the worrying and paid the bills, and they just had to play.

If we’d only had the twins we’d probably have been smugly telling people how it’s done, but the first two kept us humble.

My third was twins so the universe was kind enough to give me two easygoing kids, but I’ve definitely seen the third break the smug of the former expert parent.

I have 3-3 year old grandchildren. One cries multiple times a day. One cries maybe once or twice a day. One I only saw cry twice during a 6 week stay. I had two difficult kids and two easy and didn’t parent them any differently to get there.

Those people usually only have one kid. I’ve gotten an apology from a formerly smug parent who got a hard one for her third. Oh, telling him no doesn’t work like it did on your first two?

This is a really troubling story. People get arrested for leaving a dog in a car. Border Patrol left a baby in a car so they could arrest her American citizen father for an immigration offense? When he’s not an immigrant? Heads should roll.

Grandma of a one year old here. Was it five minutes or five hours before grandma got to the baby? Was baby frantically crying in her dirty diaper that whole time? Did anyone involved lift a finger to comfort that poor innocent baby before grandma got there? These people are monsters.

Exactly. If a family member left that baby in a car and waited for someone else to find her and get her home, they’d be arrested.

How long was it before grandma got the baby? Where was the baby in the meantime? How was grandma notified? Was the car seat available to her when she came to take the baby home?
